Nathan Villeneuve is a rat.
We’re not insulting him, just repeating his own description. Villeneuve (pronounced VILL-eh-nuv) revels in being the guy that gets opponents off their game.
He hasn’t always stayed on the legal side of the line, as evidenced by a 15-game suspension imposed by the OHL in March for allegedly putting a bounty on an opposing player. Villeneuve still wants to be offensive – the kind of offense that lights up the scoreboard – while retaining his edge. He speaks about that and lessons learned in this Kraken Reaction.
